- (continued from previous page)If on a clear bright night the noise of the river is heard far away its a sure sign of rain.
- Swans, come near the shore.
The dog will lick your hand.
A lot of stars appear in the sky.
The seagulls fly inland.
The goats come down from the hills and stay in shelter.
The lake makes a great noise.
The cat scrapes the brush.
The lapwings lie on the rocks.
The pig curls his tail.
The willy-wag tail comes near the door.
(A mist on Mt. Gable (about 5 miles N.W. of here) is said to be a sure sign of rain.)
